Chapter 9

Chapter 8 – The Crow Fortress (3)

“So, that is….”

That’s how Kerber started to talk about the internal situation of the Strabus Kingdom.

The Strabus Kingdom tried to get the aristocrats to participate in the constant war of attrition with the Republic. One method to increase participation was to have nobles who committed crimes join the war as low-ranking commanders.

“You’re telling me, criminals are joining the war effort as officers?” Milton asked with a dumbfounded look.

Normally, when a criminal joins a war, they were forced to join as convict soldiers. However, these people joined as officers to have their crimes forgiven.

“Well, they’re still nobles. This is offered to nobles with minor crimes and not when the crimes are serious.”

“I see. So, what crimes have those three committed to be stationed here?” Milton asked.

Kerber made a bitter smile.
